With similar 4K recording capabilities, professional-grade features, and roughly the same price point, it’s no surprise that the vigorous debate between the owners of the Sony FS7 and RED Raven is still relevant in a way. Of course, both rivals have their strengths and weaknesses, but when it

Fujifilm have been really busy lately working on a couple of new budget cine lenses they announced earlier today. The new MK Series Fujinon 18-55mm T2.9 and upcoming MK 50-135mm T2.9 are designed for Sony FS7 II and other Super 35 sensor E mount cameras like the
